Warm ≠ Preheating. Warm is an extremely low setting that is intended to warm what is in the oven without significantly cooking it. Preheating is the cooking step of letting the oven get up to the target temperature before you put the food in. Most recipes are designed to be cooked at the listed temperature, not cooked at a temperature that varies from room temp to the listed temperature at whatever rate your oven heats at.

P.s. You don't have to be an asshole.

Yes, my youth of three decades. "Pre-heat" has been a word for a long time, you old grump.

I've literally never heard "prepurchase." So you just give them money for nothing in return? Is that like pre-ordering with no promise that they'll ever deliver an item? Where the hell do you see that?

"Pre-heat" is literally "warm" in a flashy new dress. Don't be dumb.

It's literally the word for it, you're the one being dumb. There can be multiple ways to describe the same thing.

I'd add more, but you seem reflexively combative, to say the least, and you have decades of real life to get through on your own before these few words'd ever find meaningful purchase in your mind.

You're the one being reflexively combative. You literally flew off the handle cause I said "preheating."

Your words will never find purchase in my mind, no matter how strongly you flaunt your senior citizen status. Age ≠ wisdom. Get over yourself.

p.s. "¿Claro?" is "Clear?" in English. Read a fuckin' book. Travel outside your hometown. Fuck.

I know what the fuck claro means, I said what's claro is that you're intent on getting bent out of shape over nothing. I didn't ask you what claro means.

I've read plenty of books and I've traveled to more countries than I can count on my fingers and toes. That's not gonna change anything about your smugness though, so I don't see what it has to do with this conversation.
